Hello all! Today starts our week long collaboration with Marvy Uchida! I”m so excited about this week because I have some really fun and unique cards to share with you!! Today I use Marvy Uchida’s Puffy Velvet Markers to create a fun textured card with the Little Painters Set.

Puffy Rainbow with Marvy Uchida by Channin

To start, I first stamped a paint brush from the Little Painters Stamp Set five times onto Canson Bristol paper in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. I then colored them with Marvy Uchida’s ColorIn Brush Tip Markers, using water and brush to create gradations and soften the color. I then die cut the images out with the matching dies. Next, I colored a rainbow gradation using ColorIn Markers on bristol paper and then die cut the Rainbow Word Die from it. I then trimmed the paint brushes down to create a pyramid shape and and adhered them to an A2 panel with foam tape.

Next, I colored paint streaks with 5 different colors of Marvy Uchida Puffy Velvet markers and heat set them to make them puff. I then die cut a sentiment strip using the Sentiments Die and then stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Rainbows Stamp Set. Next, I took a strip of vellum and wrapped it around my panel, using a tape runner to hold it in place. I then used more tape to adhere the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base. Finished up the card by adhering my sentiment onto the vellum with liquid adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project and video! Thanks so much for stopping by! See you Wednesday for another project feature Marvy Uchida!

Hello Waffle Flower Friends! It’s Channin here with a new video! In today’s video I share with you how to create a simple yet colorful alcohol ink background which I pair with the fun artsy images from the Little Painters Combo set!

Simple Alcohol Ink Background by Channin

Watch below or on our Youtube channel.

VIDEO

First, I create my alcohol background on a 5x7 sheet of Yupo paper with several Ranger alcohol inks (Citrus, Stream, Wild Plum, Sailboat Blue, & Watermelon). I then set the background aside to try a start working on the images. I start by stamping several images from the Little Painters Stamp Set in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white cardstock. I then colored them with copics (100, C-7, C-5, C-3, C-1, BG10, E00, E21, E37, E29) and then die cut them out with the matching dies. Next, I stamped and white heat embossed a sentiment from the Rainbows Stamp Set onto a black sentiment strip created using the Sentiments Die. I then die cut an A2 panel from the alcohol ink background using the A2 Nesting Rectangles 1 Die. Next, I adhered the panel onto an A2 top-folding card base and then finished up my card by adhering the images and sentiment with foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed my card and video! Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a fantastic day!

Hello all! It's Channin here with a new project and video for our collaboration week with Thermoweb! I seriously couldn't wait to share today's project with you all! I had so much foiling rainbows left and right with the Rainbow Panel Die and the beautiful Rainbow and Iridescent Deco Foil Transfer Sheets. Yup, this is going to be good!

Rainbows and Deco Foil by Channin

I started by creating my background. First, I placed the Starburst Deco Foil Stencil over an A2 panel of white cardstock. I then spread Deco Foil Transfer Gel over the stencil, removed the stencil, and let the panel dry for an hour. While the panel was drying I die cut a rainbow, clouds, and "rainbows" sentiment using the Rainbow Panel Die, Partly Cloudy Die, and Rainbow Word Die from a Deco Foil Toner Sheet. Next, I foiled the rainbow stripes and "rainbows" sentiment die cuts with a Rainbow Deco Foil Transfer Sheet. I then foiled the clouds with an Iridescent Deco Foil Transfer Sheet. Next, I die cut the all the images again (rainbow, clouds, & "rainbows" sentiment) from craft foam. I then adhered the foiled die cuts to their craft foam counterparts.

Next, I die cut a sentiment strip using the Sentiments Die set from black cardstock and then stamped and white heat embossed the rest of my sentiment using the Rainbows Stamp Set. I then foiled my stenciled background panel with more iridescent foil. I then put together my card by adhering the stenciled panel onto an A2 top-folding card base, then adhering the rainbow and clouds to the card front. Lastly, I adhered the sentiment strip and then the "rainbows" die cut over the largest cloud.

I then heat set the panels and then removed the backing on the contact paper die cuts and adhered them to the panels. I adhered the sheet to one panel and the die cuts leaves and flowers to the other.

Next, with a wrung out chamois cloth, I lifted the ink off the panels by pressing the chamois to the paper. Once I finished lifting the ink off the surface, I removed the contact paper and then stamped and white heat embossed some flowers and leaves from the Bouquet Builder Samp Set onto the panels.

Next, I created my sentiments by stamping and heat embossing sentiments from the Rainbows Stamp Set onto strips of black cardstock. To finish the cards, I adhered the panels onto A2 top-folding card bases and then adhered the sentiments with foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed today’s video and technique! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello all! It's Channin here and I have a really fun technique that I’m super excited to share with you all today! In today’ s video I will demonstrate how to create some beautifully textured backgrounds with a very simple ink extracting technique. Best part is you most likely already have all the supplies you need to give this a try!
